Turn New Inventory into Instant Engagement

What if your customers could be instantly notified the moment a vehicle they need hits your yard? With YardSmart’s integration with Texn Rewards, that’s exactly what happens.

This partnership delivers real-time vehicle alerts straight to your customers' phones—keeping them informed, engaged, and coming back to your yard.

How It Works
Customers sign up and opt-in through Texn Rewards. From there, they can:

  • Set Year and Model Preferences
    Want alerts for a 2009–2014 Honda Civic? No problem. Customers simply choose their preferences and let the system do the rest.

  • Get Instant Notifications
    When a vehicle hits the yard that matches their request, a text alert is automatically sent—with no work required by your staff.

  • View Full Vehicle Details
    Each alert includes valuable info:

    • Make, model, and year

    • Yard location

    • Engine displacement and transmission type

    • “Set” date

    • Real-time images from the day it was placed

Customer-Friendly Dashboard

Users get access to a clean, simple dashboard (accessible by desktop or mobile) where they can:

  • Track all vehicle requests

  • Renew or remove them anytime

  • View a history of matches and alerts received

Requests stay live for 90 days and are fully managed by the customer—making this a zero-maintenance solution for your yard.

Why It Matters

🔧 More Repeat Visits – Customers know when the vehicle they need is available, and they’ll come get it fast.
📲
Better Engagement – Automated texts mean more touchpoints and stronger customer relationships.
⏱️
Save Staff Time – No need to manually notify or manage customer requests.
🚗
More Part Sales – Faster awareness = faster pick and purchase = more revenue.

Powerful Technology, Seamless Execution

With YardSmart’s Vehicle API powering the integration behind the scenes, your yard’s inventory updates feed directly into Texn Rewards—ensuring accuracy and speed. It’s another way YardSmart helps self-service yards stay competitive in a fast-moving market.
